THE JESSIE 3.
What Capt. kilner Has to Say of the
COMPANY Affairs.

Captain Kilmer of the Portland and Ken
nebec Steamboat Company arrived in the
city yesterday morning. He says the diff
Guilty which the company has recently expe-
rienced is only of temporary character and
attributes it in part to the impotence of
some small creditors. The principal trouble,
he says. lay with the boat itself. She was
not what she was guaranteed to be by the
owners, her boiler and machinerybeing weak
and defective instead of all right as repre-
sented More than three weeks ago, he says,
he notified the owners that the boat was not
in proper condition and that unless they
made necessary repairs he should throw her
back upon their hands.
The whole indebtedness of the line, he
says, is less than $500, and will all be paid
by the boat owners.
He reports that $57 900 worth of stock in a
new boat has been subscribed for, and that
new company will be organized
next week. He has been in Boston for the
past week and placed some of the stock
there Abont $4,000 worth of stock, he
thinks, will be taken by Boston capitalists
The affairs of the line will be adjusted
speedily, and new company organized next
week, probably to be called the Boston,
Portland & Kennebec Steamboat Company.
The new and elegant steamer Bay Ridge
will be put on the route next season.

A Cold Recention.

The Skowhegan Band, IL pieces; Ware
Cornet Band 10 pieces; Strong Band. q
pieces; Corinna Band and Livermore Falls
Band arrived in the city on the noon train
yesterday The men are strangers in the
city and there was nobody to meet them
when they arrived at the depot. 1t was al
most three o'clock p. m. when the PRESS re-
porter walked into the Maine Central station
and all but the Livermore Falls Band were
still in the depot A member of the Ware
Band said; I'VE were told by Mr.. Collins,
who Is managing the muster, that our travel
ing expenses would be paid, but when many
miles from home we found that we were left
and obliged to pay our own fare. We are
countrymen, but we know when we are
used well and we don't call this the best
treatment
We arrived in the city at about 100 p. M,
and looked in vain for Mr. Collins, whom we
expected would be here to receive us. We
don't know when we are to stop, and are I'M
acquainted with Peaks Island and your city,
We have brought our rations with us and all
we ask for is place to shelter us from the
rain. We have sent men in search of Mr..
Collins, who by the way, we think has treat
ed us rather roughly, and others to Peak s
Island to learn If we are to have any accom-
modations there. We call this rather cold

ISLAND NOTES.
a Large Landslide at Peaks Island
Yesterday.

The continuous rains have been detri-
mental to the enjoyment of island life.
Numbers of the sejourners have gone to the
city to remain until the return of fair
weather.
The management of public entertainments
have not become entirely disheartened The
Opera House and Pavilion have been opened
|. every afternoon and evening since Monday.
The heavy rain yesterday caused consider
able damage to the highways. A large body
of water accumulated at the terminus Of
Sterling street, Peaks Island, and forced a
deep gully across the main street by Mr..
Littlejohn's house to the high embankment
on which the barn is located, undermining
Its foundation, carrying away a tract of land
20 feet long by Is feet wide, rolling down
the embankment 40 feet by the water, root
ing up and breaking off large trees. The
roar of the slide aroused the inmates Of the
cottage near by. They fastened to the spot
in season to witness the tumbling of large
rocks. Mr.. Littlejohn arrived in season to
remove his horse from the barn, as there
was danger of its going with the slide.
Eight bands had arrived at Peaks at
o'clock last evening and gone into quarters

Serious Damage to Washington st.
Bridge by Railroad Train.

Damage caused by washouts are reported
from all directions. Yesterday noon as Con-
ductor Berry's train on the Portland q
Rochester was making its run to the Grand
Trunk station, the engine left the iron just
before it reached the overhead bridge at the
end Of Washington street. At this place
there is sharp bend in the railroad and the
track just in front Of the bridge had been
buried in sand washed from the high en-
bankment on the south side. The sand
threw the engine from the track when it
was within twenty yards from the bridge
The engine crashed into the strong wooden
piers which supported the bridge on the
north side and broke all but one of them.
She sank deep in the mud just under the
bridge and canted little from the track.
Mr.. Frank Edgerly was the engineer and he
at once shut of steam and did all in his pow
er to prevent the accident. No one was in-
jured. and the engine, the Sanford, No. s,
was very slightly damaged. steam being
kept up until o'clock last night when she
was hauled onto the rails.
The greatest damage was done to the
bridge which was lighted last night by a
S~oAS u A"Aipos ahu pdood6C dAlVNCu OhAy Oi
one side of it which was supported by tenn
porary stays. Mr.. A. ]. Westman was sta
toned as night Waterman at the bridge by
the city officials. A crew of men were busy
repairing the track last night and this morn
ing it will be ready for trains to pass.
The washout just this side of the bridge
was from eight to twelve feet deep and as
many feet wide, and an electric light pole at
this place was completely washed out The
sidewalk on the bridge was also destroyed.
A house on the corner Of Hammond and
Gould streets was undermined to such an ex.
tent that If the storm had continued but a
short time longer 1t would have tipped over.
A ditch some twelve feet deep was made the
entire length of one side of the house, and
one corner projected unsupported.
Other washouts, less severe, are to be seer
in every direction, but the total amount Of
damage caused by the storm in this vicinity
cannot now be accurately ascertained, but in
the city it will reach several thousand dol
